Gas issues
Hi,
My 1 week old daughter has not been sleeping well for past 2 days. I believe she is struggling with gas issues. We try to get her burps while feeding and after feeding but still at night she is unable to sleep properly. She makes some kind of noise and keeps stretching herself. Please advise.
